FAQ: hyperCAD®-S

Can you provide information on the CAD kernel and operating system?

The CAD kernel of hyperCAD®-S is developed by OPEN MIND. The hyperCAD®-S CAD software is only available as a 64-bit application on computers with Windows® 7, Windows® 8.1 Pro and Windows® 10 operating system.

Can hyperCAD® data be used in hyperCAD®-S?

hyperCAD®-S has a hyperCAD® interface for this purpose: All CAD data as well as entity properties, such as layer or colours and all CAM data, such as the job list can be imported.

Please note that hyperCAD® 2009.3 only works with Windows® 7 and is not compatible with Windows® 8 or Windows® 10. This means files in the old e3 format cannot be opened with Windows® 10. Files in the old e3 format must first be converted into the new hmc format in order to be able to use them in future with Windows® 10. A Windows® 7 computer with executable installations of hyperCAD®-S and hyperCAD® 2009.3 is required for this.

OPEN MIND has developed a batch converter to make it easier to convert large files. If you are interested in this converter, please contact your local OPEN MIND Support.

What interfaces does hyperCAD®-S offer?

hyperCAD®-S was designed as an open software system. This is why the CAD system from OPEN MIND comes with an extensive package of interfaces.
